Our vision statement: Be brave. Be great. Be you. 

Our culture statement: We are fun. We are together. 



Dear St. George's families, 

We have some important events coming up in our final week of half term. 

Mrs King, our English Lead, is warmly encouraging all Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 parents to attend our Phonics Workshop next Thursday afternoon. 

The workshop will really help those with younger children support their reading at home. It is really important you attend if you can. At St. George's, we want to make sure every child is a reader. Details and times are below. 

At the other end of the school, Year 6 will be culminating their Windrush Pioneers History Topic with a Carnival. We look forward to having lots of fun and celebrating the positive difference the Windrush Generation has had on Lewisham and on Britain. 

As ever, we wish you the very best of weekends, full of rest and fun, ready for learning on Monday. 

Mr Janes

Reminders

Black History Month 2021:

Volunteers Wanted!

October is Black History Month and as part of our learning we would really like to invite in members of our parent and wider community who have black heritage to speak in an assembly. 

We believe that if our pupils can 'see it', they can 'be it' and that we have many positive role models in our community who can inspire our young pupils to go on and be black history makers.

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Parent Phonics Workshop

On Thursday 21st October, we have a parent phonics workshop. This is a slight change in date so please add it to your calendar. 

On the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to hear from Mrs King, our English Lead, on how we teach phonics and early reading at school. 

At the end of the workshop, we will invite your children to the hall so you have some time to do some of the reading tasks there and then with your child! We look forward to seeing you all there.
